- Hemingway’s “In Another Country” English 11
- About World War I
- World War I was a nineteenth-century war fought with twentieth-century weapons; the military tactics lagged behind the capabilities of the weaponry.
- As a result, casualties were staggering and the wounds extraordinary and appalling.
- Although some soldiers came home with psychological wounds and others with illnesses, some were simply ripped apart.
- About World War I
- It has been estimated that more than 12 percent of all injured soldiers suffered from facial wounds. Perhaps a third of these unfortunate men were permanently disfigured.
- Polite society sometimes shunned them. Much of the support the hundreds of decorated veterans received was from their fellow victims.
- About World War I
- Attempting to dignify their experience, they bonded together to form mutual-aid societies.
- Hemingway’s experience
- Parts of this story describe experiences much like Hemingway’s own as a Red Cross volunteer during World War I. He didn’t take part in the fighting; he was an ambulance driver.
- During one run he was hit by several fragments from a mortar shell and wounded. For this he received medals and glowing citations.
- About the story
- True to Hemingway’s style, this story of a soldier in a World War I military hospital describes a time, but does not create and then resolve a single conflict .
- The narrator, an American serving as an officer in the Italian army during World War I, recuperates after a serious injury to his leg.
- About the story
- He befriends other wounded soldiers, but once they decide his medals were awarded because he is an American while theirs were won for acts of valor and self-sacrifice, he feels isolated from them.
- The narrator is “in another country” both physically and emotionally. It is a place where he feels no connection to anyone else.
- As You Read
- Read the story (pp. 809-814)
- Write a double-entry diary, asking 5 questions of the text
- Tie the questions to specific points – no generalizing the whole story.
- Be prepared to share your questions with others – so make them legitimate.
